I played through HOTU in MP. It can be done with a bit of fuss. The cutscenes dont work properly, otherwise its fine. IIRC we had to play the end of chapters 2 and 3 in SP and then do some exporting/importing of characters in the beginning of chapter 3.

XP gains will also be a bit smaller. I think I was at level 13 after SoU in MP (compared to lvl 16 when I played solo)and didnt reach that high a level in HOTU. It's not that much of a deal towards the end though, as an extra INTELLIGENT companion more than makes up for losing a 3-5 levels, and the benefit of each extra 20+ level is relatively smaller than it would be earlier in the game...

Still I used LETO to make us start HOTU at level 16. I'm not that fond of classical dungeon crawling so I found chapter 1 the least enjoyable part, and it can be quite challenging if you are too low a level...
